Feature Presentation:
Now, this series isa ctually really cute, funny & just adorable. However, each episode is about 14 minutes long, but each have it's own story, laugher & heart warming cuteness. The Angel Brigade have been assigned to find the Lost Technology, but since no one really knows what it looks like or where it is, they got assigned to do other little silly things. On their first mission, they are off to find a lost cat, but ends up finding Milfeuille, a very lucky girl. Next, Forte & Ranpha went off for some fun in a casino & ends up losing & in debt, but never fear, Milfeuille came to save them. Oh, it's so hilarious. At the end, Milfeuille ends up joining the Angel Brigade. Later on, they are assigned to sort out garbage & end up & ends up finding a missile that want to live & ends up to a mess up blow out. Next, they are off to protect a very handsome president of a rich company, but they got more then they deserved. The one I really like is the mission to return a student ID to an abandone school, which a very happy ending. Another laugher episode is when they are off looking in a pile of old junk for a weapon & found an egg with a very cute mouse. Oh, Forte got a little secret with you find full of fun, well for the little mouse. Last, they must find kidnappers that been taking children from a very fun theme park. Oh, what fun I get from watching these episodes.

Video:
Bandai Entertainment did a very great job. I found no problem, the image are clear & the color looks perfect. Each episodes are separated into 5 parts: the introduction, part A, part B, ending & the preview for the next episode, all except the first episode, which have the prologue! The last episode playing on this volume have an extra ending credint in English. The episodes are on different tracks, so when moving to the next episode, there will be a small loading time. I do note that you can skip all those warnings & logos when you first load the DVD by just pressing the "Menu" button on your remote control.

Dubbing: English:
The dubbing is so cool, keeping the cuteness & laugher along the way. However, there is one minot glitch in the dubbing in EPS07, like it was a moment of silent! It's about 85% of the original Japanese.

Audio 01: English 2.0:
No problem found.

Audio 02: Japanese 2.0:
No problem found.

Subtitle:
Bandai Entertainment have selected a great font, very easy to read. They use green for the introduction & ending themes, the rest is yellow & white for Japanese signs & text. There are two tracks of subtitling. One track is for the sign subtitling & the other one is for the Japanese dialogue. Oh, you might even noticed that for the introduction & ending theme, both the original Japanese lyrics (white) & the English translation lyrics (green) are both displayed.

Menu Option:
The menu is really cute & quite unique, as the clip of each chracters plays, the background change to the name of the character. There is the "Play All", "Episodes", "Setup" & "Extras". The menu background music is one of the music from the series, as well as the other section. Oh, by the way, the icons are so cute.

DVD Extras:
The fun part of the extra is a bonus clip for all 7 episodes of "Now I Get #1 GA Lectures". It's only in Japanese & feature one of the cast dressing up in their characters. It's somehow disturbing, but it's all in good fun. The others are the original Japanese promotional clip, along with a non-credit opening.

Packaging:
The design is very matching with the series, cute! On the cover, you see the the girls of the Angel Brigade. In the back, you get some screenshots, along with a cute shocking look picture of Milfeuille, Forte & Ranpha. The insert has the same picture as the cover, along the enire lsit of the producers & cast for this series. Inside the insert is a bio of Milfeuille, which is cool to know. On the DVD disc itself, it's only Milfeuille with a blue background. I just want to point out something, the DVD case is actually a neon green, which is very unique!

PC Viewing:
Watching it on the PC is the same as watching it on the TV. Very clean, no problem at all, very little pixel (little squares popping in & out), both normal mode & full screen mode. The sound is just great. Since the episodes are on different tracks, there will be a small loading time when you move on to the next episode. The only thing annoying is the menu option. You have to click on the cute icon to make the selection, instead of the word, for example, "Play". Like on your regular DVD player, you can skip the warnings & logos when you load the disc, just use the "menu" option to go to the menu screen.

Overall DVD Rating:
Oh, this is a very awesom series, fill with laugher, cuteness & just plain fun. I think my favorite is Vanilla & what is yours? Each mission is a blast of fun that you want even more! So, just sit back & enjoy the show.
